Our Weekend of Fun

We decided to fill our weekend with fun activities so I wouldn't miss my parents so much :)

On Friday, Jeff worked early so he could take the afternoon off and go to HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.

Jeff has been telling Tyler we could go since the very first preview came out months ago! Tyler loved it and my favorite part was sitting next to him! He was hilarious. He'd giggle and oooh and laugh and scream, he got so into it.

--At one of the scary parts, he turned to me and said, "It ok, Mommy".

--At one point, all the dragons were hiding for an attack, it was silent as the people were waiting, and he said, "SHHH, dragons sleeping"

--The main character's father wasn't always very nice to his son, and Tyler had a good idea, "How 'bout the dragons bite daddy."

It was so funny that he was processing all the information and enjoyed it so much. Afterward, we picked up Jackson from the sitter and went to McDonald's for Happy Meals with dragon toys.

-- On the way driving there were birds in the sky. Tyler said, "Oh, there's dragons! But it ok, they nice ones."

What a fun day together!!

---------------------------------------

On Saturday, we went to the CIRCUS!

I found buy one, get one free coupons online and we had a fun time.

Tyler loved the animals, especially the Zebra. He kept saying, "Z for Zebra!" and even pretended he had to go potty to get out and see them again. Little stinker. No accidents that day, though!

It was a fun show, animal tricks, trampoline flips, trapeze artists, clown jokes. Fun stuff.

Tyler somehow snuck around the line and got a free pony ride!

On Sunday, we enjoyed church and naps and even got to dye some easter eggs! Tyler was fascinated by this process and I thought he would due to his love of color...

I told him, "good job, you dyed the eggs!" He said, "They not dead mommy, they just purple." Oh silly me.

We enjoyed egg salad sandwiches the next day and now I better go get another dozen for more!

Well, we missed you Mom and Dad, but I'm glad you didn't come last weekend, cuz then you'd be gone and I'd be sad. I still get to see you soon! :)

Beautiful Snow Days

It snows in Texas? Not very often! Last week we got almost a foot of snow (record high EVER!). Fresh, white, beautiful snow!!


The boys (Jeff, tyler and the neighbor kids) enjoyed making a snowman!!



Doesn't he look so big in his snow gear?

Jackson and I enjoyed from the window...


That night we got even more snow, covering our tracks from the day before and looking even more beautiful!

Tyler's favorite thing to do was knock the snow off of the bushes (so destructive!)

And of course, some snow angels

The next day, I was feeling good enough to step foot outside :)

Jackson's favorite thing to do was grab the snow,

but enough is enough! I love the way he's pulling up his arms and legs in this picture!

And we got a good taste. Man, that snow is delicious!

Date Night Swap

So, my friend Becca thought of this amazing idea where we watch each other's kids every other weekend so we can go out on dates! Last weekend I watched her boys and this weekend she watched mine. Jeff and I had the best time, we saw When in Rome and got ice cream in the 30 degree weather. It was wonderful. Thanks Becca for the great idea! And thanks David and Alicia for our Christmas present- movie passes and Cold Stone gift card! It was so nice to go out on a date, and even better that it was totally FREE!!
